Regions

DVD's can be created with Region limitations which is designed to limit playback to certain countries. For example.. If you are in the UK and wanting to purchase a DVD that is listed as Region 1, it should not play in your player unless your player is specifically set to play Region 1 DVD's. If the DVD is a REGION 0 this means it was created with no limitations and should play on any player worldwide.

Unless otherwise noted the DVD's are expected to be created in Region 0 format.
